I did a 36 hour fast a couple of months ago and was very proud of myself. I did used to do, quite easily, a fast of anywhere from 16:8 to 20:4 daily but sometimes personal life changes (family dinners/commitment etc) which hamstring it. I’m trying to get back into at least a 16:8 daily with a 24 potentially 24+ once a fortnight or month again depending on my other situations. I definitely love it!
I love how “deep” you are. I dont know you personally of course but i can imagine you are the type of person who by nature is pretty quiet and introverted. But once a person has a conversation with you they see that you not only beautiful but also intelligent, insightful, and genuine. I’m 23 and look up to you so much! I’m so glad you are back on TH-cam
To summarize HOW you actually Cycle Fasting.... (2:55) You fast intuitively 16 to 18 hours usually, and 24 hrs once a week on days 1-21 while in ketosis. (3:24) Two weeks before menstruation you don't fast, you break fasts at 10am, and you eat pumpkins and potatoes and try not to be in ketosis. your diet is Real Mediterranean food excluding dairy, gluten, and processed foods. (9:40) never do more than 20 hour fasts more than once a week (9:44) you fast 17-19 hours, maybe 20 hours depending on your cycle.
You should bleach your skin, get rid of redness you are really irritated looking, aser off your brown spots, bleach your eyelid skin & skin beneath your lower lash line, whiten the whites of your eyes, laser to shrink your pores & erase the tiny scars you have here & there, thin your eyebrows just some maybe 40% to look feminine too manly looking, cover your grey hairs, lose 20 lbs. face & body are a little too chubby & weight gain is common among older women so it makes you look older see thumbnail when you were 22 you weren't so fat, cut the salt in your diet it bloats your face & eyelids big time, eat less fat high fat diets contribute to all cancers Google it, stop using filler your mouth is a ded give away you use filler you've got Joker Mouth see Meg Ryan, shorten your eyelashes they bring down the outer corners of your eyes & age you (see thumbnail when you were young your lashes were normal, wear green contacts, & tone up your shoulders upper body looks post menopausal no muscle no definition, the left side of your mouth is still uneven. AND PLEASE GET RID OF THAT RED SPOT ON YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER THAT SHOWS IN TANK TOPS IT LOOKS LIKE A BRUISE.

I'm so glad you picked this topic, in our culture (Hindu) we fast every 11th lunar day in the lunar cycle, it's called Ekadashi. I have started doing this for my digestive and hormonal health, & I do it twice a month. You can read about it online and it has really helped me in tackling my hormonal issues like bartholin cyst etc and I have noticed a significant positive change in my mood and mental health as well.
I have practiced intermittent fasting daily for the last 3 years. I am in my fifties so post menapause. On a personal level this year has been emotionally extremely difficult and for the last few weeks I have not been mindful. The impact of both the stress and less good diet is not good! I turned to youtube for support and was so pleased to see your lovely familiar face. Your calm, kind words and advice were very timely and I will move forward with compassion and patience for myself. Thank you.
You are on the right path. What you said about having compassion and patience with yourself is SO IMPORTANT. That you've established this mindset for yourself is an indicator of your future success. You can't lose with that attitude. You got this.
Recently I found myself being accused of disordered eating because I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for years now. I believe it supports health and is preventive. I realized as I turned 50 this year I can “let go” of conversations that place the burden of verification for my lifestyle choices. One body temple.
I am 21 and I love your vids so much. Your videos about struggling with self worth to your dieting, minimal but amazing health and skin care have always inspired me. I love your mannerism and way of speaking. You are the guide and woman we don't find nowadays. In the true sense of the word, Ma'am you are an influencer! ✨ Thank you so much for all that you do!
I've tried fasting, and I think there are times in a person's life that it can be easier and helpful, but not everyone will do well. As a mother of two, little ones, it didn't work for me.I find that if I have a meal every 3-5 hours I feel good throughout the day and not starving=binge eating in the evening. Just like you I've experimented with many diets and schedules, finally I found something that works for me. I would encourage everyone to experiment as well, until they find what serves them long term.
I know you are going to live 100years n your skin would look younger...u r taking every measures to be healthy..I appreciate your willpower....I'm one of your old subscriber....love from India ❤️
Dr. Mindy Pelz's videos say to stop fasting one week before your cycle begins. Can you elaborate on why you do two weeks before instead? Did you try one week before and find it didnt' work well for you?
I stared watching this channel for kimchi about a year ago. Then I learned about self care treatments from hair,skin,COVID and now even energy !! I mean I can’t mention how much empathy is in just your expressions. But I haven’t been active in a year and you are radiating the universe at its best. Glad to see you again … 🌻🌞🤗
Ooo can't wait to watch this. I backed off of intermittent fasting after it made my period late. That was the only con I found doing it. Made me feel great otherwise
I worked with a nutritionist that focus on hormone health and she advised women can’t do it every day as our bodies are in a monthly cycle and hormones dictate so much of our life . She also advised that depending on your unique health issues , not everyone can do it . But I look a good fast once a week or so .
Your videos are extremely informative for a beginner faster. I'm very excited to begin my journey at 20 and hope to ameliorate my existing intestinal health condition. Please don't stop uploading, you're a gold mine of knowledge!
Can you do another "what I eat in a day" please? It's so hard for me to figure out what i should be eating throughout the day to stay satisfied and not binge.
You look super beautiful Mashallah, I'm Muslim, we dry fast one month per year obligatory dawn till dusk. And two days a week optional. And yes, fasting is great
Hi Jennifer. So i started fasting late last year. It took me some time to get it right for my body. Quality food helps a great deal for me. I learned how to do bone broth through your video. Thank you so much! 😀
It can take some trial & error to determine the best schedule...actually, during my first year of fasting, I did OMAD (one meal a day) for like 11 months straight. But I experienced some cortisol issues (i.e. stress) so I started to vary my fasting times and also practicing cyce-syncing, and BOOM--it was golden from then on.
Thank you for this information… I tried intermittent fasting for weight loss but gave up after a year it was just to hard and although I lost weight I wasn’t feeling it. ( mind you I am of Moslem faith so we dry fast yearly and some of us fast 11 days out of the month following our prophets lead). I still hated it. You put the hormonal perspective in your video and that intrigued me as I am 47 and trying to find natural ways to get healthy and maintain my health for the foreseeable future and my future menopausal health. So I thank you for guiding me to the right track. This is not a coincidence but I believe divine guidance. therefore I would like to thank god first and you second for putting out such a wonderful video. God bless you and may your beautiful intentions come back to you ten folds in health, wealth, family, joy and vibrant longevity. Amen.
Hi Jennifer :) thanks for the sound advice. Doctor Sarah Gottfried also stresses this point of yours about how different the female body is, and so a rigorous keto diet isn't actually going to be optimal for females long term and the same goes for fasting. As you'll already be well aware, a lot of the compelling research has been compiled through mainly testing the male population unfortunately. It's good to remain flexible and find what works for you! Also, I just wanted to say that, after much apprehension, I started Tretinoin last night, in large part thanks to you. I know it's not ideal to start in the summer, but I'm aiming for a once a week application on top of my moisturizer and being diligent with sunscreen application, being sun-safe etc. I'm happy to take it slow but I was too impatient not to start now. Thanks again for the inspiration!
Hi jen .. Happy to see you back on youtube and love to see you share a lot of information about health.. as a moeslem i do fasting too every ramadhan dan all year do every monday dan thursday its really good for my body.. about OMAD i do about a month from snake diet... watch ur youtube here makes me more know about healty lifestyle.. thank you jen... from indonesia
Hi Jennifer, my sister and I love your videos. We were wondering if you could do an eyebrow video please. Your eyebrows are amazing, perfect arch. And, also , thank you for always addressing important topics, coincidentally just two days ago, I was speaking to my sister about not knowing what's the best fasting for women especially on their cycle, and here you made this video. Just awesome
Fasting works differently in male than females. If you are a woman in your fertile years and are considering intermittent fasting as your new lifestyle, I'll recommend you do some research on fasting, stress hormones and progesterone. Female fertility thrives in abundance as it's is all about creating life; our bodies need to know we have resources available in order to be fertile and be able to bring life to the world. When we fast let's say for 16 hours, our bodies sense famine in the environment: life can't be created in famine. When our bodies are under stress (fasting is a way of stress) the female body secretes cortisol at the expense of progesterone. Our bodies will always prioritize surviving before reproduction. Fertility is a health indicator. Do your research. Good luck everyone!
I know a close friend who conceived every time she did a long fast of over 40 days omad regimen. I hear you but I've seen first hand a different outcome. indeed it's different for everyone
Hi Jennifer, thanks for coming back! 💕 I'm learning a lot from you here! I have practiced intermittent fasting daily since for the past year. It helped me to know more about how my body works. Thank you!
@@v.h.1092 I follow a dairy-free ketogenic eating pattern and it works great for me. I find that keto and intermittent fasting compliment one another very well.
i love this video, i do highly recommend eating more fruit as well, i noticed you mentioned one of the things you eat are olives (i used to eat them myself) but unfortunately i just recently found out we can never buy raw olives in grocery stores because they are toxic to us in their raw form! :( All i'm saying is any real food for us humans is any food we can eat if we so choose in its RAW pure state. Anyone can choose to cook it after but olives is just an example of a food that is advertised as healthy when in reality it could kill us in its natural grown state. Thank you for your content!
Jennifer, I love your talks on health and on skincare, but in this video I could not help but be hypnotised by your jewellery. I would love maybe a video on that, I know you choose the things in your life carefully, and no doubt you did the same with your jewellery as well- I think it could be an interesting video. Regardless, thanks!
Hi Jennifer I love watching your always so informative reaching out of your experiences with sounds pushy or preachy..I really enjoy your videos keep them coming. If you could expand in how you break your fast..please
In India ...we have a day called ' Nirjala gyaras' it Nirjala in it means no water...not even a single drop. We keep fast on this day it is in summer ..which makes it extremely difficult, because no water no food whole day. Yup that's the 'fast'. But that's the love and devotion for God Shiva, even after not eating and drinking we have energy and we chant Om whole day. This day is considered powerful, and eat and drink directly next day after sunrise and after worship ceremony. Thats the most difficult fast you can ever do. I do that fast...and I have low blood sugar problem but especially on that day it never goes down never...other days it does when I don't eat...but that day it doesn't. It's magical and surreal the patience it takes is astronomic because being without water in summers is just difficult.
I have been battling depression, self-hate and bad overall health for as long as I remember. Your channel has taught me so much about self-care. I’m so happy you help women like me. I’m only 24 but I feel and look way older, because I never cared about my body. I’m ready to start experimenting and getting healthy. Just want to say thank you. And a question, while fasting do you have any tips for keeping a good mindset? My relationship with food is unhealthy and I can never go through with a fast. Thank you for everything. :)
Stay strong! Love your self and build a healthy relationship with your mentality and soul. I’m working on it too! Ive hated myself since i was probably 13 and I’m 23 now. Never late to start your life the way u deserve. My mentality as shifted a lot at age 22 and now I’m in a better place but far from where i wanna be. I wish you a happy life!
It's so good that you're interested in self care. For mindset, I always tell myself that hunger isn't an emergency. I think we're somehow conditioned to have this fear response or an automatic "I must eat NOW" response whenever we feel the slightest pang of hunger. In the research, it is actually that hunger sensation that triggers all of these biological processes (like autophagy)...it's not that we should ignore our hunger signals--rather, it's beneficial to train the body that it doesn't need food RIGHT NOW. Because when we have that time when our bodies aren't digesting food, that's when amazing processes like protein recycling in the cells can take place (the energy is able to be utilized elsewhere). The body becomes more efficient and less lazy the more we condition it to be able to function in this way. I find my mind to be the clearest and most calm while fasting; but everyone's experience may differ, of course. The only way to find out is to try and see.
And you IF the right way. You're on it girl. The biggest issue ive seen with fasting for women is how it messes up hormones. When I tried it many years ago it always messed with me but I'm hypothyroid and ive got alot of metabolic issues. Ray Peat has been the most helpful for me but I need to shed some the weight ive gained from introducing more carbs after being low carb for many years. But if your metabolically healthy fasting can be great from all ive read.
I’ve been fasting for 2 years now, and It didn’t help with metabolic problems or the cycle. Also I have hormonal acne all over my jawline and cheeks. And my skin didn’t get better. I fast 20/4. Sometimes I eat two times a day but rare. I really thought fasting would help with my issues but it didn’t 😔
Hi Jen, nice to see you back in action... Whenever I open TH-cam I look for your notifications n videos.. To be frank i dont follow many in social media.. You have been my inspiration and you are still in taking care of self inside and out.. I'm grateful to you for that... Let it be skincare, meditation, or cooking., I refer your videos.. I am in India and I was procastinating yoga n mediation for long... But now I'm in intermediate level of both.. I practise it everyday... Thx to you... Here are few suggestions to you, with all due respect Korean cooking recipes Vlogs from your life Sunscreen options Review on vitamin c serum that you r using How to organize things at home How to do organize fridge Home tour Live videos wherein we can ask you questions to know you more And yes of course your inspiring videos on health Just some suggestions from my end ... I feel that you create a difference in our life...it keeps us connected...Keep posting and never stop... Thanks again Jen for taking your time out to make us realize our self worth😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I really love fasting...but every once in a while i loose the schedule due to my mom telling me to eat at time😅😅...I've started showing her the science behind IF...so I'm gonna restart with full support soon😁😁
I have no more menstrual pain.. Been using magnesium on a daily basis. I don't know if it's just that or overall changes I had been going through. I highly recommend to read Period repair manual by Lara Brinden and Period power by Maisie Hill. Every women should read them and yes, pain free periods /improving menstrual health is achievable for everyone!
Hi Jenni, you have changed my perspective towards life in general! Now I have started to take care of myself more! I will be always thankful to you! And I have few questions to you! In my country, beef consumption is banned due to cultural beliefs! So can I take lamb liver? Is it equally nutritious as beef liver? The question goes for broth as well! Can I use lamb bones for making broth instead of beef? And can tretinoin be applied on neck? As I’m quiet skeptical about it! And Do you believe in facial massages, Microneedling and Derma planing your skin!?? Kindly spare few mins to respond as your answers in these topics will be of help to many! Thank you!
I wouldn’t see why not. Chicken livers and lamb liver are nutrient dense, too. The nutrition in beef liver is superior, but it doesn’t mean that other foods don’t also provide benefit. I’ve personally never had lamb liver, though. I apply tretinoin on my neck very sparingly and infrequently. It’s not advised that one should do this, however.

Hi Jennifer, my sister and I love your videos. We were wondering if you could do an eyebrow video please. Your eyebrows are amazing, perfect arch. And, also , thank you for always addressing important topics, coincidentally just two days ago, I was speaking to my sister about not knowing what's the best fasting for women especially on their cycle, and here you made this video. Just awesome
I love this you have really helped me get healthy and get rid of stomach problems thank u beautiful
Fasting works differently in male than females. If you are a woman in your fertile years and are considering intermittent fasting as your new lifestyle, I'll recommend you do some research on fasting, stress hormones and progesterone. Female fertility thrives in abundance as it's is all about creating life; our bodies need to know we have resources available in order to be fertile and be able to bring life to the world. When we fast let's say for 16 hours, our bodies sense famine in the environment: life can't be created in famine. When our bodies are under stress (fasting is a way of stress) the female body secretes cortisol at the expense of progesterone. Our bodies will always prioritize surviving before reproduction. Fertility is a health indicator. Do your research. Good luck everyone!
There's no research to back this up. Fasting isn't starving. Cortisol is good, if it's released in small amounts, as it helps in healing.
I know a close friend who conceived every time she did a long fast of over 40 days omad regimen. I hear you but I've seen first hand a different outcome. indeed it's different for everyone
I love your channel Jennifer! Learn so much from you!
You are so smart Jennifer, you have such a healthy way of thinking of thing in life.
Hi Jennifer, thanks for coming back! 💕 I'm learning a lot from you here! I have practiced intermittent fasting daily since for the past year. It helped me to know more about how my body works. Thank you!
sooo knowledgefull
thankk youu so much Jennifer
Fasting got rid of my acne and gut issues. I also plan to continue fasting regularly because of all its other perks.
What foods do you eat that helped with your gut health? Do you follow a keto diet?
It does that. It absolutely heals gut problems.
@@v.h.1092 I follow a dairy-free ketogenic eating pattern and it works great for me. I find that keto and intermittent fasting compliment one another very well.
nothing to do with fasting but I love your smile
Thank you for introducing me to Mindy Pelz 🙏❤️
You looking younger than before ❤️
Thank you! I feel youthful! I just celebrated my 39th birthday, and I’m in the best health yet.
i love this video, i do highly recommend eating more fruit as well, i noticed you mentioned one of the things you eat are olives
(i used to eat them myself)
but unfortunately i just recently found out we can never buy raw olives in grocery stores because they are toxic to us in their raw form! :(
All i'm saying is any real food for us humans is any food we can eat if we so choose in its RAW pure state.
Anyone can choose to cook it after but olives is just an example of a food that is advertised as healthy when in reality it could kill us in its natural grown state.
Thank you for your content!
Another upload from Jennifer 💕 yay✨
Thank you for your inspiration…. You are looking lovely!🥰
she back! 🤩🥳❤️🙏
Dr. Sten Ekberg is also another wonderful teacher on this topic. His channel is always straight to the point and very informative.
He's wonderful.
As an Indian and hindu we practice fasting very frequently coz of our religious beliefs as well
Beautiful.
Thanks, Jennifer! I’m 28 and love you and your channel!:)
Hello Jennifer, I'm Muslim have been fasting since I was 12 🤗 Like you said, it's definitely not a fad just more popular nowadays ❤️
That's AWESOME, Aishah! You're part of a centuries-old tradition that is beautiful and wonderful in many ways!!
so well spoken
Jennifer, I love your talks on health and on skincare, but in this video I could not help but be hypnotised by your jewellery. I would love maybe a video on that, I know you choose the things in your life carefully, and no doubt you did the same with your jewellery as well- I think it could be an interesting video. Regardless, thanks!
My jewelry is heirloom; passed down to me from past generations of my maternal ancestors. Thank you.
I know she said not to follow what anyone else is doing, but I would still love a fasting schedule from her-that I would most definitely try lol
you make me feel so good and positive :)
Hi Jennifer. Thanks for coming back, you're so inspiring! I'd love to hear your opinion on parabens.
You are a beautiful genius and I’m grateful to have stumbled onto your content 😊
Hi love your videos!! I’m glad your back!!
Can you please share more recipes and what you eat in a day? I m in need of more healthy meals. Thank you 🙏
Yes Dr Mindy is helping me out greatly. Such an amazing wealth of information. So glad you did this video Jennifer 🌷💕😊
She's helping so many people live a healthy fasting lifestyle, and I love it!
It’s been so nice to see videos from you again. They’re always so informative. ❤️
You look glowing and happy! I am going to start fasting too thank you for sharing this ❤️
Go for it!
Hi Jennifer I love watching your always so informative reaching out of your experiences with sounds pushy or preachy..I really enjoy your videos keep them coming. If you could expand in how you break your fast..please
Very valuable information ✍️keep going on your videos and good luck
In India ...we have a day called ' Nirjala gyaras' it Nirjala in it means no water...not even a single drop. We keep fast on this day it is in summer ..which makes it extremely difficult, because no water no food whole day. Yup that's the 'fast'. But that's the love and devotion for God Shiva, even after not eating and drinking we have energy and we chant Om whole day. This day is considered powerful, and eat and drink directly next day after sunrise and after worship ceremony. Thats the most difficult fast you can ever do. I do that fast...and I have low blood sugar problem but especially on that day it never goes down never...other days it does when I don't eat...but that day it doesn't. It's magical and surreal the patience it takes is astronomic because being without water in summers is just difficult.
Very helpful, thank you for sharing!!
I have been battling depression, self-hate and bad overall health for as long as I remember. Your channel has taught me so much about self-care. I’m so happy you help women like me. I’m only 24 but I feel and look way older, because I never cared about my body. I’m ready to start experimenting and getting healthy. Just want to say thank you. And a question,
while fasting do you have any tips for keeping a good mindset? My relationship with food is unhealthy and I can never go through with a fast. Thank you for everything. :)
Yes, self care & maintenance is so important. I would love an advice video for those of us in our 20s!!
Stay strong! Love your self and build a healthy relationship with your mentality and soul. I’m working on it too! Ive hated myself since i was probably 13 and I’m 23 now. Never late to start your life the way u deserve. My mentality as shifted a lot at age 22 and now I’m in a better place but far from where i wanna be. I wish you a happy life!
It's so good that you're interested in self care. For mindset, I always tell myself that hunger isn't an emergency. I think we're somehow conditioned to have this fear response or an automatic "I must eat NOW" response whenever we feel the slightest pang of hunger. In the research, it is actually that hunger sensation that triggers all of these biological processes (like autophagy)...it's not that we should ignore our hunger signals--rather, it's beneficial to train the body that it doesn't need food RIGHT NOW. Because when we have that time when our bodies aren't digesting food, that's when amazing processes like protein recycling in the cells can take place (the energy is able to be utilized elsewhere). The body becomes more efficient and less lazy the more we condition it to be able to function in this way. I find my mind to be the clearest and most calm while fasting; but everyone's experience may differ, of course. The only way to find out is to try and see.
And you IF the right way. You're on it girl. The biggest issue ive seen with fasting for women is how it messes up hormones. When I tried it many years ago it always messed with me but I'm hypothyroid and ive got alot of metabolic issues. Ray Peat has been the most helpful for me but I need to shed some the weight ive gained from introducing more carbs after being low carb for many years. But if your metabolically healthy fasting can be great from all ive read.
I’ve been fasting for 2 years now, and It didn’t help with metabolic problems or the cycle. Also I have hormonal acne all over my jawline and cheeks. And my skin didn’t get better. I fast 20/4. Sometimes I eat two times a day but rare. I really thought fasting would help with my issues but it didn’t 😔
Try longer fasts you will see a big difference
Stay with it! Also, pay attention to inflammatory foods you may be consuming; the quality of the nutrients is so important (not just fasting).
@@maryannegauthier what do you mean by that? Eat one time in a week?
pls eat dont develop an eating disorder

Jennifer, How often do you wash your face, Once or Twice a day?
Twice a day (AM & PM).
Hi new subscriber here:).....your eyebrows are great... anything u apply ?.....what to do to get very thick eyebrows ?
It’s my diet. I eat very nutrient dense foods; particularly mineral-rich foods..
I really love fasting...but every once in a while i loose the schedule due to my mom telling me to eat at time😅😅...I've started showing her the science behind IF...so I'm gonna restart with full support soon😁😁
Thank you so much Jennifer! You are great!
I really like your videos:)
you have tips for amenorrhea?
Adding fat to the diet helps, and also not over-training (doing too much/too frequent cardio exercise).
Maybe it's just me but but your eyebrows look thicker. I noticed that in your last video as well.
Thank you for this detailed explanation… very usefull…
Hi! I am learning from you each day. ♥️
Hi Jennifer, has this lifestyle/foodstyle help to minimize or stop menstrual cramps? Thank you.
It doesn't stop them, unfortunately; however, eating whole, high fat foods really helps (not just for menstrual symptoms but overall)!
I have no more menstrual pain.. Been using magnesium on a daily basis. I don't know if it's just that or overall changes I had been going through. I highly recommend to read Period repair manual by Lara Brinden and Period power by Maisie Hill. Every women should read them and yes, pain free periods /improving menstrual health is achievable for everyone!
Fenugreek seeds help a lot.
Thank you so much 🙏For telling us about your fasting lifestyle and Dr Mindy's channel I found it very helpful love ❤️ from India 🙏🙏
You are too naturally beautiful. Holy moly woman...
been fasting naturally lately but rn im on my period and my appetite is crazYyy so im taking a week off from fasting
Te admiro mucho ! Amo tu canal ❤❤❤
Love your video and how you explain it. Thank you💕 New follower
Hi Jenni, you have changed my perspective towards life in general! Now I have started to take care of myself more! I will be always thankful to you! And I have few questions to you! In my country, beef consumption is banned due to cultural beliefs! So can I take lamb liver? Is it equally nutritious as beef liver? The question goes for broth as well! Can I use lamb bones for making broth instead of beef? And can tretinoin be applied on neck? As I’m quiet skeptical about it!
And Do you believe in facial massages, Microneedling and Derma planing your skin!?? Kindly spare few mins to respond as your answers in these topics will be of help to many! Thank you!
I wouldn’t see why not. Chicken livers and lamb liver are nutrient dense, too. The nutrition in beef liver is superior, but it doesn’t mean that other foods don’t also provide benefit. I’ve personally never had lamb liver, though. I apply tretinoin on my neck very sparingly and infrequently. It’s not advised that one should do this, however.
@@JenniferMyers Thank you! ♥️
Do you use body sunscreen every day?
Yes.
What do you use for body spf?
